[The effect of phototherapy on psychoautonomic disorders of a neurotic nature].
Bright white light therapy was applied to 51 patients with syndrome of autonomic dysfunction of neurotic origin (1 hour of light exposure every day in the morning, during 2 weeks, 60 sm from the lamp, 3300 lux). Improvement occurred in 52% of the patients (responders--group 1, nonresponders--2). Changes occurred in nearly all symptoms: neuroendocrine, motivation, psychoautonomic, pain, psychopathologic. After the treatment in group 1 there was an increase of power of EEG spectrum, intensification of manifestations of the slow activity and decrease of the fast one from the two sides, an approach of the coefficient of asymmetry to the control levels as well as elevation of the urine excretion of metabolites of both catecholamines and serotonin. Initially higher power of EEG spectrum in group 2, became still more increased due to intensification of manifestations of theta and beta-2 rhythms from the two sides. Meanwhile coefficient of asymmetry was sharply decreased as well as general secretory activity inhibited. There were such symptoms and indices which had changed either negatively or positively under the influence of phototherapy.
